Let's talk about the quantum computing elephant in the room: how real is the threat to Bitcoin's cryptography? On one end, some say it's overblown fear-mongering—quantum machines capable of breaking current encryption are still years away. On the other, researchers warn we shouldn't sleep on it. The consensus? Bitcoin's infrastructure needs a serious tech upgrade before quantum computers mature. Where do you stand on this?

Honestly, when it comes to quantum computing, I think the hype is a bit too loud... It's still far from truly threatening Bitcoin, so why panic now?

Quantum stuff has been talked about for so many years, yet it still hasn't arrived? Instead of worrying about quantum decryption, it's better to first worry about what the coin price will be tomorrow.

To be honest, this matter should have been put on the agenda a long time ago. Don't wait until Quantum Computing is really mature to panic and upgrade.

Is quantum computing power really that scary? I think we still need to prepare for the worst. After all, upgrading technology won't result in any losses.

Quantum Computing, to put it bluntly, is Schrödinger's crisis. Isn't it a bit early to worry about it?

The talk about Quantum Computing sounds scary, but to be honest, it's not that urgent... The BTC ecosystem has plenty of time to prepare.

ngl Quantum Computing is hard to predict, but if Bitcoin is really cracked, we all have to reshuffle...

Quantum Computing, to put it simply, is Schrödinger's risk - both dangerous and not dangerous.

Quantum Computing, this matter... to be honest, I think there are a bit too many false alarms, but we can't completely ignore it either. After all, Bitcoin has undergone such rapid technological iterations over the years, and it will definitely be resolved in due time.
